#MLB Free Pick from Mike Lundin
(MLB) Boston vs. LA Angels,
Money Line: 105.00 LA Angels (Home)
Result: Loss
Play: Los Angeles Angels
Rating: 5*

The Los Angeles Angels have played great baseball since the All Star break and have been rewarded with the win in 10 of their 15 games. They defeated the Boston Red Sox 5-2 on Saturday to take a 2-1 lead in this series, and I like the Halos to close out the set with another victory Sunday afternoon.

Tyler Skaggs (1-0, 0.00) will take the ball for Los Angeles. The 25 year old has spent the last two seasons recuperating from Tommy John surgery, but he's been extrmely sharp lately. Skaggs was 3-1 with a 1.19 ERA in four July starts at Triple-A Salt Lake before getting called up to the big leagues, and he held the defending World Series champions Kansas City scoreless over seven innings of three-hit ball on Tuesday.

The Red Sox turn to Steven Wright (12-5, 3.12 ERA) who has posted a 6.61 ERA and a WHIP of 1.531 in three career meetings with the Angeles. He's surrendered a combined 16 runs over 9 1/3 innings in his last two outings as the knuckleballer has struggled with his grip and command in the heat. With weather reports indicating a temperature of around 76 °F for today's contest Wright might be in four another rough outing.

Angels are 8-1 in their last nine home games, Angels are 9-3 in their last 12 after scoring five runs or more in their previous game.
